Great Read

I think this is my third read of an Elizabeth George novel. I loved them from the first, and (so far) found this the best. The character development is wonderful, and I had no idea who "did it" `till the end. Kudos!

Well Schooled in Murder

Well-Schooled in Murder Mysteries

Elizabeth George is, in my opinion, the standard by which all English detective novels are measured. This -- one of her early books -- is as finely plotted and written as any in the Lynley-Havers series.

Lynley is asked to investigate a missing child at a private school, and he and Havers are thrust into a world of lies, intrigue, and twisted passions, thinly veiled in upper-class civility.

Everyone has a secret, and Lynley is charged with unraveling the web of lies that threatens to destroy more than one life The resolution is full of twists, turns, and surprises.

When thirteen-year-old Matthew Whately goes missing from Bredgar Chambers, a prestigious public school in the heart of West Sussex, aristocratic Inspector Thomas Lynley receives a call for help from the lad's housemaster, who also happens to be an old school chum. Thus, the inspector, his partner, Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, and forensic scientist Simon Allcourt-St. James find themselves once again outside their jurisdiction and deeply involved in the search for a child?and then, tragically, for a child killer. Questioning prefects, teachers, and pupils closest to the dead boy, Lynley and Havers sense that something extraordinarily evil is going on behind Bredgar Chambers's cloistered walls. But as they begin to unlock the secrets of this closed society, the investigation into Matthew's death leads them perilously close to their own emotional wounds?and blinds them to the signs of another murder in the making....

From the Paperback edition.
